If you aren't already using one, get and use a food scale. Weigh all solids. Measuring cups/spoons are not accurate:

If you're lost 4 pounds in a month, that's losing weight. And at a fairly decent rate, I might add, especially considering you're only got about 40 pounds to lose, per your ticker. Stop being so hard on yourself and expecting the weight to all fall off immediately just because you've put in a month of work. I know we all wish it worked that way, but it doesn't.

1 pound per week is great - congratulations!!

I've been working out for almost 1 month skipping maybe a total of 4 days and mostly stay under 1700 cal a day. I'm 5'5 n started at 216. I'm getting discouraged ( I've only lost like 4lbs

Check out the 5:2 fasting group...there are 2 of them on here. It's not really a diet, but a lifestyle change. It may work for you!
